Behold, my latest forum game! Remember a game called "Zork"? It was a text adventure where you typed certain words and gave commands to a character on an adventure. But, make the wrong decision and you might not live to tell the story!
So, what's the story here? Well, the AFGNCAAP, or, Ageless, Faceless, Gender-Neutral, Culturally-Ambiguous Adventure Person, the protagonist of Zork, has just watched his/her/its home get destroyed by an entity cloaked in shadow. Watching it escape through a portal, he/she/it rushes through it, to find themself in a strange world full of weird characters, objects and entities, worlds and places they've never seen! You are this poor sod, and you are so angry at this unknown assailant you could spit fire. You want revenge on a dish served colder than an open fridge in outer space.
"Wait!" you ask. "What happens if I die?" Well, simply put, I'll juggle the role of a generous Grim Reaper along with my dungeon master skills, and give you up to TEN, and ONLY TEN! chances to seek this guy down. Good luck, and don't let the door hit you on the way out! Oh and by the way, whenever you see ">>_", that means you guys can post a command and vote on it.
Hint: Pay attention to the way some words are typed or colored; they could be clues.
WELCOME TO: THE NOSTALGIA ZONE
You are standing in what looks like a middle-age-era village. Several strange-looking residents stroll about their business, either hurriedly walking to an unknown destination or casually striding a long, a map in their own faces. A bard, whose face is hidden by a feathered helm, plucks away at random strings on a lute. He seems troubled, as if he either does not know any songs, or is missing something.
You are carrying:
some bread (2 loafs)
a leaflet (c'mon, this is a different game!)
a strange-looking device
